Episode notes

The United States is a place where I feel like it keeps on being predicted as being insurgent without ever actually appearing. So now I think like the role of sort of Victor Orban, for example, suggests that kind of possibility of combining global capital friendly policies with a more expansionary national welfareism. They've decided that it's tactically good to describe libertarianism as bad, describe themselves as being anti-Kato. But I will start to believe in kind of welfare chauvinism from the right, when I actually see policies being created, designed and passed that make those kind of realities real.

Featuring Quinn Slobodian on Crack-Up Capitalism: Market Radicals and the Dream of a World Without Democracy. Radical libertarians, including anarcho-capitalists like Murray Rothbard, envision a world of micro-polities governed by private property and contract. In fact, we already live in their world, a world of zones—places where special rules tailor-made for capitalists prevail over the ordinary laws of the nation-state.
